The PN5
That PN5 you paired with it actually was a nice choice...while it’s not lighted, it does have nice coloring and the chrome accent plate to go with the unit. I was about to suggest buying a new Aerus PN since they are black now to go with it. Perhaps you can see if Aerus is making the rubber hoses for these in the current black color, that would go nicely as a replacement hose to preserve those beautiful braided silver ones should you decide to use these machines regularly.
Also, I notice sometimes the braided hoses last longer if the environmental conditions are right to prevent the rubber inside from drying out over the years. My Mother has a 1983 Silverado era hose that is not leaking on her Model L. It gets used lightly as it’s the upstairs vacuum for their vacation home which they use only 3 months out of the year and the upstairs is only 2 bedrooms and a bathroom and a small hall. Though for several years it was the downstairs vac that is a much larger space, only a few years ago did Mom swap it to upstairs after I got her a rubber hose for the Silverado which was upstairs and she said she prefers the flexibility of the rubber hose so she swapped the machines since the downstairs is much larger with 2 living areas, sizable eat in kitchen, dining room, and 2 more bedrooms.
